September 24th – Ringo Starr’s second solo album, “Beacoups Of Blues” is released. (It’s the country album he always dreamed of doing!)
Also on this date, “The Odd Couple” premiers on ABC.
September 26th – Motown Records announces that The Jackson Five have now sold over ten million records between their first three #1 Singles … “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “The Love You Save.” (Hopefully Berry Gordy found it in his heart to actually present the boys with gold record awards for this achievement.) Their fourth Motown single would also top the charts when “I’ll Be There” rose to the #1 position and stayed there for five weeks. While their next two singles fell short in Billboard, peaking at #2, both “Mama’s Pearl” and “Never Can Say Goodbye” reached the #1 spot in Cash Box Magazine.
